Beautiful Faces

Advanced Facials

Dermaplaning is a super effective exfoliating treatment in which a surgical scalpel is used to gently remove any dead skin cells on the surface of your skin (along with the peach fuzz on your face). This help reduce the buildup of dead skin and microscopic hairs that can make your complexion appear dull, flaky, and can even cause breakouts due to clogged pores and hair follicles. Which is why this form of mechanical exfoliation is beneficial for maintaining an even, healthy glow.

The dermaplaning treatment should not be painful but you will experience some scraping and sensitivity depending on your personal sensitivity threshold.

Microdermabrasion

The SkinBase™ Facial microdermabrasion treatment uses a stream of non-allergenic crystals to remove your skin’s outermost layers of dead cells. Your therapist will use the handset to direct the stream of crystal over the treatment area and, where necessary, target specific zones. The handset then uses a mild suction to draw away the crystal and skin debris to reveal your new and improved complexion.

The SkinBase™ Facial is chemical free and non-invasive yet achieves amazing results revealing younger, healthier looking skin from the very first treatment. The skin’s appearance is further improved through increased collagen & elastin production as your body produces a new layer of skin.

Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash Extensions thicken and lengthen the client’s natural eyelashes, Lash.Extensions are nothing like “traditional false lashes” which are produced in clumps of about 5 or 6 and are applied to the client’s eyelashes with self-adhesive and last a couple of days.

Lash Extensions are individual lashes and last for weeks. Made to be identical to natural lashes the lash base is flat and the lash tip is fine and polished, just like real lashes.Lash Extensions are applied directly to the client’s own lash, one extension to one natural lash.

This is repeated until the client has a full set of Lash Extensions creating fuller, thicker more defined lashes.

Full Set £45.00 Full set

Top up treatments

Like your nails and the hair on your head, your eyelashes grow on a continuous cycle of replenishment. The average cycle is about 90 days

While some eyelash extensions may last for weeks, to ideally maintain the thickness and fullness and for best results, we recommend you top up every 2 – 3 weeks

Reflexology symbols are thought to be recorded on the feet of statues of the Buddha in India and later China.

The Chinese classic, the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine”, which was written around 1,000 BC, has a chapter on “Examining Foot Method” and is the beginning of discussions in print about the connection of life force and points and areas on the feet.

Shiatsu Traditional Energy Therapy

Each session lasts approximately one hour. The first session may be slightly longer since your practitioner will make a detailed case history to develop a complete picture of your health according to the principles of oriental medicine.
The session usually takes place on a padded mat or futon at floor level, although it is possible to receive Shiatsu in a chair if you are unable to lie down. The client stays fully clothed. Following a treatment there can be a feeling of increased vitality and you may feel invigorated yet relaxed.

Shiatsu is a traditional hands-on Japanese healing therapy. It can help in a wide range of conditions—from specific injuries to more general symptoms of poor health.

Shiatsu is a deeply relaxing experience and regular Shiatsu sessions help to prevent a build up of stress in our daily lives

The philosophy underlying Shiatsu is that vital energy (known as Ki iin Japanese) flows throughout the body in a series of channels called meridians.
For many different reasons energy can stop flowing freely and this then produces a symptom.. Your Shiatsu practitioner will consider your state of health, the symptoms that you are experiencing and depending on your constitution and general energy levels will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow. These may include
gentle holding and pressing on the meridians and where appropriate more dynamic rotations and stretches. As the quality of energy changes, the symptoms associated with a lack of flow will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being— not just the physical body but also on an emotional and/or mental level.

GUIDELINES FOR TREATMENT

– Please bring or wear loose, warm, comfortable clothing, preferably cotton e.g. sweatshirt, tracksuit trousers and cotton socks.
– Do not eat heavily in the two hours prior to treatment.
– Do not drink alcohol before or after treatment.
– After treatment drink plenty of water to smooth the flow of changes through the system.
– If at all possible avoid strenuous or stressful activities after your session.

The therapist will review the clients medical history to ensure there are no contra indications before staring the massage. The client removes all their jewellery and clothing, except for underwear, before lying on the massage table where they are covered with warm towels.

The therapist will use various techniques during the masssage to achieve desired affects. For example, direct stone pressure applied to knots and tight muscles. Long sweeping strokes using the hot stones may be used to bring about deep relaxation. Kneading and rolling techniques may be incorporated to increase the circulation. Also during the massage specialised organic oils will be used to support the flow of the movements and therefore helping muscles to relax and revive.

Following on, a number of hot stones may be placed in particular areas of the body and left for several minutes for maximum heat and weight impact.

Swedish massage

Swedish Massage is a system of long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration and shaking motions that apply pressure between muscles and bones, rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish Massage feels good, is relaxing and invigorating.

The main purpose of this style of Massage is to increase the oxygen flow in the blood and release toxins from the muscles. Some other benefits of this massage style include shortening recovery time from muscular strain, increased circulation without increased heart load, stretching of ligaments and tendons, skin stimulation and soothing of the nervous system. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested as part of a regular program for stress management.

Why It’s Called Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is based on the Western concepts of anatomy and physiology as opposed to energy work that is more common in Asian-style massage. Both Swedish massage and physical therapy were pioneered by a Swedish physiologist, Per Henrik Ling (1776-1839)at the University of Stockholm.

In the early 19th century he developed a system called “Medical Gymnastics” which included movements performed by a therapist. These became the known as “Swedish movements” in Europe and “the Swedish Movement Cure” when they came to the U.S. in 1858. Today it is simply known as Swedish massage, a treatment for full relaxation and rejuvenation of tired muscles.

Regular monthly treatments can really help to maintain a balanced body and assist in the prevention of many common ailments.

I.H.M. Massage

The benefits of Indian head massage

Indian head massage has been practiced in India for over a thousand years as part of everyday family life as a form of grooming. Indian head massage was brought to the west by narendra mehta in the 1970’s and the therapy was extended to include the face, ears, neck, shoulders and upper arms.Indian head massage works on areas affected by mental and emotional stress. In western culture today we spend much of our time in our heads, so this treatment can really help to calm the mind and is surprisingly deeply relaxing. Working with a firm and gentle rhythm it helps to relieve muscular discomfort and tension as well as calming the spirit and aiding relaxation, it also improves circulation in the head, enhances the senses and promotes clear thinking.

The massage usually begins with the upper back, where a combination of deep massage and pressure points help to relax the muscles and to loosen and melt knots. Moving through the shoulders and upper arms further releases the common spots for holding stress and tension, and then working deeply into the neck where tension accumulates relieves headaches and improves cerebral spinal fluid circulation. Moving up to the scalp, techniques are used that stimulate, relax and revive the whole of the head, increasing circulation and promoting healthy hair. Finally the treatment may include a gentle face massage with techniques that help circulation, skin tone, and sinus and headache problems.

This therapy can be performed without oils with the client sitting and fully clothed, so it is ideally suited to the workplace or situations where it may not be appropriate to give a full-body hour long massage.Indian head massage soothes away tension, leaving you relaxed, revitalised and re-energised. This is a very popular treatment, perfect for promoting a calm mind, a stress-free body and for maintaining optimum health.
